well, it depends how that motorcycle is ridden. Most motorcycles have license and insurance requirements. I wonder why these should not?

Well, then it’s a motorcycle. Easy.
- Comment on Record payout for victims of 'illegal and immoral' Australian welfare scheme 1 week ago:

- Comment on Why the cost of living crisis will not get better 2 weeks ago:
Tax the miners, and stop our corrupt politicians walking into fat mining jobs. We’d have everything with that one change.

- Comment on One UI 8 New Features: A First Look at Samsung's Big Update | Tygo Cover 3 weeks ago:
In a matter of a week or two I upgraded from UI 5 to 6 to 7.
The move from 5 to 6 more than halved my battery life instantly.
In one go my phone went from lasting about a day and a half roughly, to needing to be charged by just after lunch time. Absolute disgrace.
So then I upgraded again with all the promises I’d read that it has improved performance and battery life and it’s dropped at least by another 15%.
My phone is lucky to make it to lunchtime now, thanks to these upgrades.
- Comment on Australians could keep more of their wages if we rebalanced taxes on other forms of income 3 weeks ago:
Australians could keep a metric shit ton of their wages, if we just taxed the mining sector, and fired our corrupt politicians.
We would have free education / universities, free health care, free dental and more.

- Comment on Kate Chaney: By increasing the GST to 15%, we could make the tax system fairer for younger Australians 3 weeks ago:
By stopping the corruption in the mining sector, where politicians give the miners all of our resources tax free, and then get fat jobs with the miners, we could have everything we need and more.
How about we just stop the corruption, and get our free university, hospitals, and everything else like a modern country should.
- Comment on Quiz: can you pick a Victorian from a Queenslander? How our accents change from state to state 3 weeks ago:
Tax free miners getting rich of our resources. Our politicians getting fat jobs with them after finishing with government. Etc.
Easy to spot WA folk. They’re all slightly ashamed that they’re part of the reason we don’t have free hospitals, university and a higher standard of living.

- Comment on Inside Australia's billion-dollar bid to take on China's rare earth dominance 4 weeks ago:
And I bet those miners pay $0 tax.
And I guarantee their pet politicians get fat jobs with them once done in politics.
And that, is why we don’t have free healthcare, dental, university, etc.
- Comment on Higher interest rates smashed landlord profits, but negative gearing means few sold up 5 weeks ago:
Gen x here. Agree. We get leveled. Again. Whilst the boomers just coast through it, mortgage free, reaping bucket tonnes from their multiple properties and huge super, and sipping their laté in delight.
